Deductions & credits
I tried to e-file about 8 times yesterday and kept getting my return rejected for missing form 8962. I did not get any 1095-A forms and followed the link below with a couple of edits to create a dummy/placeholder form 8962, which was accepted!
Scroll down to "What if I wasn’t covered at all in 2021 through the Marketplace?" and use arrow to expand.
Scroll to:
"2. The IRS has information that someone in your household should have a 1095-A".
Add step 0 (before steps 1 thru 7): Click on the forms button and look at the left column (Forms in my return) for forms 1095-A and 8962. If they are present, click on the form and select "delete form" at bottom.
Now, follow the remaining steps 1 thru 7
For step 5, make sure you enter '1' in Col A, rows 21 (Jan) thru 32 (Dec) and '1' in Col B, rows 21 thru 32. For Col C, enter '0' in rows 21 thru 31 and '1' for row 32.
Before you e-file again, you can check to verify that the dummy/placeholder form 8962 will be e-filed by going to file:Save to PDF, then select "All official forms required for filing" and scroll through the list of forms to make sure TT is including "Form 8962 Premium Tax Credit". Now you can e-file. Good luck.
